Humbling words in this article slash review by the Sydney Morning Herald’s Craig Mathieson.
…the songwriting connection between Crighton and his multi-instrumentalist wife is so complete that they’re fused together.”
… Empire has been acclaimed for its visceral mix of wired folk, gospel invocation, and rock’n’roll sparks … guided by Crighton’s imposing baritone”

…the passion on Empire is steel forge fierce, but it’s never prescriptive.”
Crighton is a continuation of an Australian songwriting lineage that takes in Slim Dusty and Cold Chisel’s Don Walker, but the songs he conjures with his collaborators have their own connection to the rural landscape and deal with contemporary concerns.”
